Perry made terrible struggle for life He
succeeded in getting half Of his body through
one Of the windows but the timbeis OF the
roof which had fallen down held
his legs iis a vice-like grip.
Below the doosnsl man lay his wife
and child. They had hoped that the husband
md father, who han wormed his way so
near to freedom, would come to rescue them.
When they realized that their doom was ir-
revocably sealed they screamed frantically,
and drove the father wild with their piteous
cries. Another effort was rnaie to drag
the doctor from the window, but wave of
flames drove the rescuers back upon the prai-
RE, where they watched the gray head drop
upon the window sill and finally disappear
from view.
When The flames had spent their fury a
hundred men and boys invaded the wreck
and began to search for the bodies. But one
dead remained untouched by fire. This was

bones were picked up near the center of the

least Fifteen and perhaps twenty, persons
lost their lives.

were borne to the prairie, where, in the glare
of immense brush fires, they were piled
upon the yellow grass and autumn leaves,

Before it was yet daylight men with teams
picked up the bodies, and placing them in a
rough pine box bore them to this village,
where they were placed in baggage-car
pending the coroner's inquest. The hatful
of bones, all that remained of the Perry fam

Fred Miller; Minnie Mil II; an I'M

patient is often so offensive that he
becomes an object of disgust. After
time liberation sets in, the sponpy
bones are attacked, and frequently
entirely destroye. A cosntant source
of discomfort is the dripping of the
purlent secretions into the throat
sometimes producing inveterate bron

exciting cause of pulmonary disease.

The "Deyil's Code" at Stockholm,

The royal library at Stockholm con.
tains a remarkable literary curiosity,
called the devils code, which is said 70
be the largest manuscript in the world.
Every letter Of this gigantic piece of work
is as beautifully formed as il it were
infinitely and carefully drawn. and il
seems almost impossible that it should
have been done by a single human being.
The devils code was brought to Sweden
from Prague after the thirty years war,
and The Deutsche Hausfrauen Zeitung
tells the following story of its origin:
Apoor monk. who hau been condemned
to death, was told that his sentence would
be committed if he were able to copy the
whole of the code in a single night. Re
lying on the impossibility of the task, his
judges furnished him with the original,
pen and ink, and left him In his well
barred prison. A drowning man catches
at a straw to save himself, and the un-
fortunate monk began to try his last i'm.
possible task with the vain hope of &C.
oomplishing it. Before long, however, he
saw that he could not ave his life by his
own weak exertions. Afraid of o crueI
and certain death, and perhaps doubling
the promise of a better life hereafter, he
invoked the aid of the prince of darkness,
promising to surrender his soul if he
were assisted in his task. The dark
spirit appeared as soon as he was called,
concluded the contract, sat down like
any copying clerk, and the next morning
the devils code wa finished. Boston

watches without Hands.

The construction of watches without
hands has lately attracted some atten.
ton, the usual hands being replaced by
figures denoting the hour and minute,
which appear at openings in the dial
plate; the mechanism Is simple, and only
q few more parts are required than in an
ordinary watch. Two wheels are used
to denote the minutes-one, which
moves forward once in a minute, being
geared to a second one, marked with the
ten minute figures, and every ten min.
utes a tooth on the first wheel engages
with the teeth on the second, moving il
forward one figure. Thus every minute
Of the hour is shown on the face of the
watch, and, at its completion, both min.
ute wheels show two ciphers, and are
ready to begin the round again; the
hour is shown on a separate wheel, and
an ordinary hand indicates the sec
onds.
OF the advantages Of this kind Of
watch, it is remarked that few people
read the time Of an ordinary watch &C.
curately, and. If the experiment is tried
Of glancing at the face in the usual man.
ner and then naming the time, it will be
found that an error of from half a min.
ute TO three minutes will be generally
made. With the new watch, it is
claimed, no error a possibly occur, and
there is the added advantage that at the
end Of every minute an audible click is
sounded as the number changes, by which
n can measure short intervals Of time,
wen at night.-Detroit Free Press.
